Consideraciones de Breakers SF6 Vs Vacio PDF
SF6 or vacuum?
More than three decades of experience in developing SF6 and vacuum circuit-breakers, accompanied
by increasingly close cooperation between the participating research centers, gives ABB a strong
advantage when it comes to deciding which technology is best for a given application. The
pioneering role played by the company uniquely qualifies it to pursue R&D on both fronts with the
goal of pushing performance levels to the limit. The sum of this research work, coupled with
unrivalled knowledge of the marketplace, puts ABB in a position to offer unbiased advice and
assistance to customers searching for the switchgear that best suits their needs.
